The Chicago Curling Club is a unique meeting venue that is occasionally available for use by members and non-members for meetings, organizational team building, and/or private curling experiences.

Space is available on a limited basis for business groups, nonprofits, and meeting/special event planners. Summer rental is for outdoor party space and indoor service areas. Our regular season is winter when the IceHouse is frozen for curling. We offer curling teambuilding starting late October through the end of March. Typically, times are available throughout weekday afternoons and whenever there are gaps between league play or inter-club competitions.

Typical availability:

Tuesday and Thursday mornings and afternoons are open for rental (other weekdays maybe available)

Weekday evenings are generally occupied by club league play and usually unavailable for rental.

Our unique venue consists of 4 sheets of curling ice in an environmentally-controlled area, a full commercial kitchen suitable for catering, viewing/seating for approximately 100 people, a large dining area with fireplace, TVs/DVD/VCR, two locker rooms, and a bar area. We have accommodated upwards of 150 people for formal sit-down dinners. We also house the American Curling History Museum.

Utilizing the Club for a curling experience typically consists of group lessons for 32 people in teams of 4 or 8. We will accommodate no less than 16 and no more than 64 participants on the ice. If you have more than 32 there will be a surcharge per person. Events are scheduled for approximately 3 hours, which includes two hours of reserved ice time:
